There's a lot to love about Harman Kardon's Citation Bar, including plenty of premium touches like blended wool Kvadrat fabric and a full-color LCD touchscreen on the top panel for accessing presets and controlling music playback.

A smart and stylish sound bar

There's a lot to love about Harman Kardon's Citation Bar, including plenty of premium touches like blended wool Kvadrat fabric and a full-color LCD touchscreen on the top panel for accessing presets and controlling music playback.

And, of course, there's the built-in Google Assistant. That means whether you want to play your favorite Spotify® playlist or just shuffle all your Pandora® stations, all you have to do is ask.

The Bar operates as a center channel speaker in an all-Citation wireless surround sound system.

“Hey Google, what's traffic like?”

Google Assistant can help you with more than music. Plan your day with weather and traffic updates. Create a shopping list, set reminders or alarms, and control connected smart home devices like lights and thermostats — all with your voice.

Not into voice control? Not a problem.

The Bar has Bluetooth® and Chromecast built-in, so you can wirelessly stream your favorite audio content right from your mobile device.

Wireless home theater

This sound bar is going to be a big improvement to your TV's audio on its own, but what I love is that you have the option to grow into a very robust home theater system as your space and budget allow.

Crave more bass? Pick up the sub. Add the surround speakers, too, and now you've got a completely wireless 5.1 system (okay, not completely wireless — each component requires AC power).

What if you also really love music? You can up your two-channel game with a pair of towers, and your home theater setup will get a boost, too. How? Well, this bar configures itself as your center channel — a rare feat for a sound bar — when you add Citation towers as your left and right speakers.

Beyond the living room

This sound bar is also a great starting point for a wireless whole-home audio system. Harman Kardon's Citation line offers an option for every room in the house. Pick up a compact ONE or 100 for the den or bedroom. Want a bigger speaker for the kitchen/dining room? Try the 300 or the 500. Or better yet — get two of the same speaker to create a stereo pair.

Active Soundbar Speaker

Premium Sound & Design: For over 65 years Harman/Kardon has been
dedicated to delivering a luxurious audio experience that allows you to feel the
music and immerse yourself in the moment. The H/K Citation Bar is a 3-channel
active soundbar speaker with one 0.75" dome tweeter and two 4"x2" race-track
cone drivers for each channel - all powered by a built-in 150 watt (RMS) amplifier for
dynamic, room-filling
sound. The drivers are housed in a bass reflex enclosure with two rear-firing
port for greater efficiency and better bass response. The Citation Bar combines its luxurious audio with a sophisticated and
beautiful design. Its premium blended wool fabric, made by Kvadrat, is dirt
repellent and flame retardant.

Virtual Surround w/ Sound Presets: You can activate a Virtual Surround
mode and choose between 5 Sound Mode Presets - Standard, Music, Movie, News, and
Night. Night Mode reduces the soundbar's dynamic range of Dolby Digital
soundtracks for late-night listening. There is also an Audio Sync function that
lets you decrease or increase the audio sync delay if the video and audio
synchronization is not correct. In addition, you can increased or decrease the
soundbar's Bass output level.

4K Pass-Through: The H/K soundbar lets you maintain 4K
quality from source to screen by allowing 4K video to "pass through" and be
displayed on a 4K TV or projector, without compromising image quality.
Giving you the pure 4K experience makes this soundbar the perfect partner
for 4K-capable TVs and Ultra-HD Blu-ray players. 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i,
and 1080p video signal are also supported.

HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the
soundbar's HDMI jacks. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content
Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for compatibility
with Ultra HD Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable providers.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature of the
soundbar speaker system's HDMI output allows audio to be sent from your
compatible HDTV to the soundbar speaker through the same HDMI cable already
being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the need
for extra cables connected to your television.

Note: The ARC-enabled HDMI input of many televisions only
sends an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby Digital from the
TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will
output only 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA
(like your Blue-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box).

Note: The digital optical output terminals of most newer
flat-panel TVs only send an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby
Digital surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection,
or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch stereo from sources
connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray/DVD player or
satellite/cable box).

IR Remote w/ IR Repeater: The H/K Citation Bar comes with an IR remote
for wireless control of the soundbar speaker, as well as basic playback control
of Chromecast & Bluetooth audio devices. In addition, the Citation Bar can
respond to Volume Up/Down commands from most Samsung, Sony, LG, and Vizio TV
remote controls automatically (no programming required). If the soundbar blocks
your TV's IR sensor, the unit's IR repeater output and cable allow the remote
signal to pass through the soundbar speaker to your TV.

Mounting Options: The Harman/Kardon Citation Bar can simply
be placed on a table-top or wall mounted (wall-mount brackets, hardware, &
template are included). The soundbar speaker should be centered above or below
your TV screen.

AC Power: The H/K
Citation Bar comes with a detachable AC power cord which plugs into the back of
the soundbar and into an AC power outlet or surge protector (sold separately).
